It-bolaget Mullvads grundare donerade fem miljoner – till parti som vill se ”storskalig återvandring”

Daniel Berntsson, founder of Mullvad, gave a personal donation of 5 million SEK (roughly 450,000€) in 2025 to Örebropartiet. This enormous donation accounted for 72% of the party’s revenue in 2025.

How does this affect Mullvad’s legitimacy as a company advocating for a free and open internet, while also funding a political party whose agenda seem to contradict these values? The official party website (in Swedish) can be found via the link below.

    I remember all the FUD about their anti-virus back in the day, even though it consistently tested the best. I didn’t know they had a VPN. I’ll have to look into it.

    Edit: website says “purchase is unavailable for US customers”. I’m sure that’s the US government’s doing and not their own choice, if I had to guess.

      Here in Brazil I could buy it, although I could not download it not from the Play Store. I downloaded an APK from the website. It is also available on Galaxy Store, Huawei App Gallery, Xiaomi GetApps, and even the Apple App Store! It seems Google interprets the sanctions more harshly than necessary.

        Google doing the CIA’s bidding as per usual. I’m glad it’s an option for people outside the US.
